Spot Cleaning during the nine days

Question:

I only have one pair of pants that i tried on but it got badly stained can i spot clean it or should i wear a pair that wasnt tried on?

Thank you

Answer:

Yes, you can spot clean during the nine days.  If that won’t work for you, you can also put a pair of pants on a dirty floor, and stamp on it until it no longer has a fresh feel to it, and then wear it.

Best wishes

  1. IWAS BODEKING BLACKBERRIES and forgot I was wearing my good white summer shirt of which i have only one; if I don’t spot clean quickly wont ever be able to get out stains again or wear it–It was expensive and also had had to alter sleeves…but it is now Tuesday before Tisha B’Av Sunday. Can I soak stains in bleach tonight?
